Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Not of This World- John 18:36

on December 15, 2013 at 4:45 am

Posted In: Bible

Do you ever catch yourself wondering why God allows evil men to prosper in their ways? Do you ever get that feeling inside that makes you question why God doesn’t just deliver you from trials when they come? I do. Sometimes I just say Why God? I have times when it seems nothing I do prospers. It is like no matter how hard I try, things just don’t seem to get better.

When I start feeling like that, there are a couple of verses that always come to mind. I remember the moment when Jesus was on trial before Pilate. Jesus explains to Pilate that this is not his home. John 18:36 says “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

Keep that in mind when the trials come. When you look around and see nothing but injustice and it seems everything you try to do is met with resistance, remember, your kingdom is not of this world.

If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed week and happy prepping!

Pellet Guns as a Prepper Tool

on December 11, 2013 at 9:16 pm

Posted In: Uncategorized

Pellet Guns as a Prepper Tool- You won’t shot your eye out!

Pellet Guns are something often overlooked by preppers as a useful tool. In the prepping world, there is no end to the discussions on which battle rifles, handguns, and shotguns are the best. Not only are they covered ad nauseum on prepper posts, but guns also have their own world apart from the prepper community. They have their own blogs and websites, TV shows and clubs. This is as it should be. They have been part of our country’s heritage since before the first shot fired at Lexington and Concord. The Second Amendment is what was added to our Constitution not to defend our homes from burglars, but our country from tyrants.

An often overlooked addition to the battle rifle, shotgun and handgun is the lowly pellet gun. I don’t recommend it for your go to gun if the SHTF, but your tool box contains a variety of hammers, screw drivers and saws, and so should your gun cabinet. A pellet gun has a couple of nice advantages. The universal advantage is the price of ammo. Range fees and ammunition costs can be prohibitively expensive. If you have a pellet gun, you can take it out in the yard a couple times a week. Always be sure of what is beyond your target and treat your pellet gun just as you would any other weapon. This can keep your trigger finger in shape and keep you from getting rusty. This doesn’t replace range time, but it will help your performance when you finally get to the range.

Another great advantage for us city folks is the lack of noise. This will allow us to get a little target time in the backyard when we can’t get to the range. The quietness of a pellet gun would also be a great asset in a bug in situation in the city. Most of us have some squirrels or birds in the backyard that could serve as a supplemental source of protein in a teotwawki situation. If you are stuck in such a situation, you may not want to broadcast to the world that you are taking game. You may end up with some uninvited dinner guests.

The other great aspect of a pellet gun is for young preppers. It is a great tool to teach gun safety. My first weapon was a Daisy BB gun when I was 8. My father taught me the basics of gun safety with that gun and those lessons have been with me ever since. A good pellet gun like the Gammo Hornet is available from Amazon for under $100. It fires regular or PBA ammo and will easily take small game like birds and squirrels.

Be safe and have fun. Here are some free printable targets.

Have a blessed day and happy prepping!

Sunday Prepper Bible Study-What is Your Excuse For Not Believing?

on December 8, 2013 at 4:59 am

Posted In: Bible

“Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

Romans 1:19-21

People have all sorts of reasons for not believing in God. Some folks say that if there were a God, bad things wouldn’t happen. That is a shallow excuse; bad things happen because humans decide to disobey God. Others say if there were a God, we would be able to see him. That too is a shallow excuse. We can’t see the wind, yet we feel it, we see the effects of the wind and even hear it whispering through the tree tops.

Complexity is evidence of design. No one looks at a watch and says it came to be on its own through a process over billions ans billions of years. Though we have never seen the creator of the watch, the complexity in its design tells us that it was indeed created by someone.

As we look at the complexity of the physical universe, it is impossible to believe that it simply happened by itself. We know there was a Divine Designer.

Have a blessed week and happy prepping!

Economic Situational Awareness – Essential Prepper Education

on December 2, 2013 at 4:14 am

Posted In: Economy

Essential Prepper Education

One of the most essential aspects to preparedness is Situational Awareness. In our day and age, perhaps the most important situation you need to be aware of is that of the economic arena. Some people love to read about it and others can’t stand it. Regardless of which camp you fall into, you have to have a basic understanding of our financial system to really be able to think for yourself and make the right decisions.

There have been very few teachers that have been able to take the complexity of our financial system and break it down into such an easy to understand presentation as Mike Maloney’s Hidden Secrets of Money. I promise you won’t be bored and you will come out with a better understanding of how our system works and how it is rigged to steal your wealth. Even if you are an economics professor, you will learn a better way to present this information. Everyone from the beginner to the PHD will walk away with something after watching these videos.

If these 5 videos make you want to learn more, check out Chris Martenson’s Crash Course for extra credit! If you decide to use gold or silver as a hedge against the theft of your wealth thought the corrupted financial system, compare the prices at JM Bullion and use coupon code PR5 for $5 off any order over $300.

Happy prepping!
